Clevedon Window Centre diversified into sliding sash windows as the replacement window market approached saturation point, and hasn’t looked back since.
Leicester-based Sign Windows started looking for a premium vertical slider fabricator when its systems company wouldn’t produce a profile for an authentic-looking sash window.
Since the BBA upped the standards in 2004 for balance and hardware endurance testing to whole window testing for at least 20,000 opening cycles, Masterframe Windows Ltd is the only PVC-U vertical slider company in the UK to have met them.
Masterframe’s Bygone Preferred Installers’ business is up [35%] in volume while the rest of the market struggles. The core casement PVC-U market has hit saturation, with some larger trade companies rumoured to almost be 40% down on last year.
Masterframe Windows is still celebrating after scooping two awards at the GO5 Awards on Friday night, when the leading manufacturer of premium PVC-U sliding sash windows was announced the winner of both the Customer Care Award and Energy Efficiency Initiative of the Year.
The race to get the first 'C' rated window from The British Fenestration Ratings Council (BFRC) is over - with Masterframe's Bygone Collection first past the post.
Staff at Essex-based sash window manufacturers Masterframe are celebrating after winning through to the finals of the Customer Focus Awards category of the National Business Awards South East.
“Glassex 2005 was a great success for us,” says Alan Burgess, Managing Director of Masterframe Windows Ltd, the leading manufacturer of high-quality PVC-U sliding sash windows.
It’s the little details that make all the difference to a sash window. That’s why Masterframe Windows Ltd has designed special dual-role packaging for small items of window hardware such as the handle packs for their Bygone Collection PVC-U vertical sliders.
